Johnny Mathis was one of the most talented singers ever, in my opinion.

as you fall in love

[Grandrose3]

1957....High School Graduation trip to Dale Hollow Lake, Tenn. Great memories....JM's incredible voice takes me back there. Thanks for sharing!

[bulldogbarks55]

What a great arrangement and accompaniment by the legendary Ray Conniff and His Orchestra. It doesn't get any better.

[brunasoft]

Da ate pra sentir o perfume dela rsrssr

[bikie2]

This music must live forever love it still play it now in my car & Vintage car

[DelawareResident]

This is my 2nd favorite Johnny Mathis song next to Chances Are! It is just beautiful! What an incredible voice! I've seen him in concert twice and he always gives a terrific performance! He looks like a million bucks in person! So worth the money to see him in person! A real treasure! ♥

[SuperTHEMAN0000]

Believe it or not,i was at the tender age of 3 going on 4 years old when i heard this song on the radio and absolutely was taking by it. The piano in this song and Johnny Mathis was the comforter i needed at my time of loneliness. Thank you for posting this unforgettable song.

[joaumevi]

This is the music that the world loves; the on we all wished we had written. BEAUTIFUL ! ! !

[bigcy5]

Could you imagine if something like this was auto-tuned? It wouldn't be... it just... *cries in the corner*

[rukusband]

[LinD50]

Just Beautiful!!!

[starlight76able]

[beret5able]

WOW WORK AT IT

[Goyayoya1965]

Elvis' same song is quite different and not good as Johnny's version.

[Ramirooouhhh]

es lo maximo 

[greeniii555]

ooooooooo the memories, the delightful memories of days gone by. thanks

[justmusicandme]

Johnny had so many hit songs, but I think this is close to a perfect song, sung perfectly.

[RandyBful1]

Only Johnny Mathis could sing like Johnny Mathis...truly unique and amazing voice!

[smurphsc]

Wonderful music and love song - one of the very best male vocalists of his day! What beautiful memories!

[jvelez1370]

sweet tune:)

[gva0917]

I had not heard this lovely song in ages! What a nice find! Thank you.

[MsAudreythompson]

my mum loves this song .

[xtmreef]

so relaxing..love this song!!

[artisan2784]

Sooo romantic and memorable!

[mimidec67]

Some of the most romantic music ever made.

[2000Cherrybomb]

sweettttt

[johnclavis]

I gotta say, Mathis knocks it outta the park, but that whole middle "and pray that love will last" part is terrible. The composer should be beaten with a broom handle. They really couldn't come up with a better, more catchy melody for that whole part? It sounds like Mathis barely knows what note to sing, and the backing chords sound almost wrong -- that's not a knock on Mathis or the band, it's an indication of what a badly written section it is. That's bugged me since I was a kid.

[artisan2784]

@johnclavis

that word "last" rhymes with "fast" in 'hold you fast'! I guess you are right that these two words are not fit or rather awkward for this kind of romantic music and lyrics composition! I don't find anything wrong with the backing accompaniment, I think its perfect!

[princesslehaha]

*swoon*

[Kurious2no]

A consummate singer with a terrific voice, sensuous phrasing and superb diction! What a joy to listen to. So many wonderful memories associated with Johnny!

[hmalvin]

This is the master (Johnny Mathis) at his best.....what a beautiful voice!!

[tofelt]

DANGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG.

[pallenism]

Very Nice!

[PeeweeLamby]

this reminds me of driving home from canobie lake at 10:00 at night, and the old cartoon things they have there. "chances are" reminds me of canobie, too

[juricamonteiro]

Mais um clássico do Johnny Mathis. Como sempre tocando nossos corações

[justmusicandme]

This kind of song being on youtube is what makes me love youtube!

[Midnightwolf34]

Very nice romantic song...

[moui21]

@Midnightwolf34 Its not a romantic song. Its talking about him being a homosexual or gay.

[lareinadeverde]

que linda canción .

Antigua pero buena

[wendysanson]

You know they said this musics not for us but thats one of them things you just got to trust but if you dont trust them then you wont believe that, ever scince a kid all i heard was feedback like wawawawa mike is a wigger but i aint tryin to be black please dont believe that its enough trouble bein white dog thats a deep fact. uh huh, yup yup you know it, youre still white even if you are a poet. Rascism thats the name of the game, and you couldnt escape that if you was David Blaine.

[bigpad69]

it *IS" for us to say: "This song is heaven!"

[2009Denisem]

As far as I can see thissssssss is Heaven! So Smooth....I truly miss this music...sooo many great memories...

[THRILLAKILLA187]

[THRILLAKILLA187]

@2009Denisem HEE HEE YOU GOT ME :-P!

[2009Denisem]

@THRILLAKILLA187 MWAHHHH....

[Freddie9384]

Johnny Mathis is truly a great romantic singer. The tempo of the song is slow but very soothing and pleasant.

It has already caused MrFeinstein proposing to Janus604 and the latter had acknowleged acceptance. Strange but love comes in many forms and ways, bless them.

My favourite JMathis's songs are A Certain Smile, Chances Are, Misty, The Twelve of Never and It's not for me to say.

[RandyBful1]

@Freddie9384: I like all those, but would add Gina. ;)

[Janus604]

Hi Mr F...Yes...in Italy?...Love this song too.

[MrFeinstein]

Will you marry me Janus604?You know how much I love and miss you.

[2009Denisem]

Lots of memories... those were the days my freinds...I lobe this song..

Thank so much posting

[Janus604]

I love this song and love litenting to JM. I was listenting to this one with Mr F and I love you honeyX

[MrFeinstein]

This song makes me want Janus604 more and more.I love and miss her so much.xx

[ConnieDeCarolis]

I miss this music

[Kittielips]

It looks as though Mr F's missing his Janus604 if you ask me.

Thank you.

Jennie.

[feliixx]

i feel goodness here *,...,* '-'  anyways, im enjoying the song

[coldplay233]

Just had the opportunity to see and hear Johnny live in Branson this past week. Just amazing! He sounds just as great as twenty years ago.

[fairygmother1]

i grew up listening to songs like this and am proud to say this is where i trained actually learning a style etc. just so pretty thank you for putting this out. you are good people.

[chkjns]

Only the voice is Johnny Mathis.

The orchestration and arranging.............are by Ray Conniff.

Ray was creating other #1s for artists like Don Cherry, Guy Mitchell and Marty Robbins in this era.

[gphw]

Some of you need to just SHUT UP and listen to this great music and be glad you can still hear!!!!

[1951barry]

one hell of a voice.

[ghadira]

Is this the last of the great voices? Nat King Cole, Al Martino etc.  Perhaps someone will be born soon but at the present there is no one out there!

[sumo01510]

Sitting back at home having a few drinks after a hard week is so ideal. This music must never die.

[Etherian1977]

I agree ..life sucks but som beautiful things make it worth living .

[Idrasag0n]

@sumo01510 Amen.

[hsage1]

@sumo01510 So right! Thank you.

[bikie2]

@hsage1 Your welcome Sumo have a great day

[nitroexpress476]

@sumo01510 Amen! I totally agree!

[norb1937]

@sumo01510 Damn right. All you got today is rap, rock, hip hop, all crap. And with those drinks here's to us and those like us.

[Etherian1977]

beautiful....voice and song

[aparecidolelis]

Awesome!! Thanks for posting...

[ladysoul1000]

Makes me smile it's such a pretty song.

[electricslipper]

Reminds of innocent summers almost ages ago aglow with amber lanterns. Slow dancing in the open air near the lake. The lingering scent of "Sea and Ski" sunburn preventive.

Now, much time has passed for me and gravity has subjected me to its cruel depravity.

I remember well those times of innocents with much more than nostalgia but with a genuine sense of loss.

God bless Cosmio Propellor

[breeeegs]

As long as we're getting all mushy and nostalgic, let me just say I wish I could go and visit that time with you. I'm not very old, but I know life can be hard, and love as well. Just like Pablo Neruda said, "Love is so short, forgetting is so long." Its the memories we hold on to, when the people and things we love go away. Great song, anyway

[959970]

looks like someone's getting "Lucky"?

[breeeegs]

Not sure what you mean

[AkosiLigaya]

wonderful! u could always fall in love many times..but my heart is sealed with ur love..love you pare!

[buzzardsbass]

geepers~! one can only genuflect... what a wrenching voiv=cew to rip your heart from your soul. I'm gettin misty~!

[bigleroygym]

I can sing better than him!...well no...i can't...haha

[bangfarang]

It's "...than he," thank you.

[bigleroygym]

well, excuuuuuuuuuuuse me! haha

[bangfarang]

Music today is deplorable compared to so much that was turned out from the twenties through the sixties, when popular music's creativity began to fade to its current dormancy. Civilized manners and well-rounded education have faded over the same period, a process commonly reinforced by disgust for those who notice and mention the decline. Oh, to regain the age of Mathis, Cole, and the assumption that everyone could aspire without embarrassment to be mannered and educated!

[bigleroygym]

your "civilized manners" and "well-rounded education" are BS. I did a search in Google on your name and i see all the hateful comments u have made on youtube. Racist and anti-Islamic comments. It's just as i suspected. Also, u said u are some kind of lunatic living in a forest.. But anyway, folks, don't let him take away from the beauty of this music.

[bangfarang]

No, you haven't found any hateful comments of mine. If anything there sounds hateful, it is a quotation meant to show Islamic hate. But anti-Islam? Absolutely! If you can back up your "racist" accusation, I'd love to see it. Islam, though, is surely part of the decline I'm concerned about. To love everybody is to have no standards. Some would rather pull civilization into the sewer. You, for instance, would rather lie using terms like "lunatic." That, TOO, is a drag on civilization.

[GuardianGin]

I've fallen madly in love with this song

[DyvaNaye]

JM has a ' wicked' voice man...love this guy!

[renofirvine]

i bought this as a 45 or so i thought--it's got chances are and 12th of never--and the company i bought it from said im the 1st person who told them of the mislabeling--here's a fun fact-the first ever greatest hits lp--johnny mathis

[LaMaraj]

Perfectly written, perfectly sung, perfectly felt and perfectly delivered. And so effortlessly! AMAZING! It amazes me time after time!

This IS heaven!

[hellomyfriend100]

you say what i think.  my favorite song of johnny's and of this ilk. i may like darondo and other great funk, classical and jazz. but this song done by johnny is so beautiful and incomparable. your comment is mine. heard first when i was 14. i am now almost 63.

[moatengator1986]

Time honored memories can be bitter...

Or they may be as sweet as a summer melon.

My memories of you are only the fondest...

As those sour ones were few and gone

And how the good ones come back to me

When I play this, our song.

[billyguns2]

Just great! It brings back memories of my sixth grade dance class, where it was a great favorite; best ever slow dance song, IMO.

[locksmithite]

one of the best slow dancing songs in history

[Clamelparleo]

Quiero estar en esas plantas y en la canción, con una amaca mirando como el cielo cambia de color dia tarde y noche sin ver a nadie ni a mi familia ni a mi entorno ni a ti y morir, morir , en paz

[fdepoalo]

I clearly remember my Dad bringing home the original Columbia 45 RPM record, with "Warm And Tender" on the flip side - I still have it, along with the original Columbia 78 RPM. 52 years later and I never get tired of hearing this song.

[veroandariega]

This is what good music is all about!

[paul51]

Why aren't there singers like this anymore? Love this.

[charliebubblesoar]

as far as i can see, this is heaven

[LaMaraj]

and speaking just for me, it's ours to share

[Oldiesbuff925]

Next to Neil Diamond, he is my fav male recording artist! Love, Love, LOVE this song and remember as a little kid, when just my Mom and myself, and cleaning about the house, she would play the oldies, and even then as little as I was, fell in love with this song and Johnny. Seen him in SA in 2008, and was awesome!

[myraj34dd]

what do you think of "That Sunday, That Summer"?

[havisham3]

Another great one ,only slightly lesser than Chances Are imo.

[maureen1938]

Yes Anne, pure magic isn't it.....

[maureen1938]

Thanks for posting this beautiful video.

[annetamlyn]

It,s very beautiful maureen right yet again................magic.

[bulldogbarks55]

Another great Mathis-Conniff track. The backup orchestra and chorus can make or break a song. This one is a home run.

[chkjns]

Glad to see someone else recognizes Ray Conniff's role in this incredibly beautiful song.

[breeeegs]

This shitty world does not deserve such a beautiful voice

[tyohnlgr]

what a smooth beautiful voice and it has never changed.

fantastic

[charliebubblesoar]

He's the greatest. That voice. My favorite voice everrrr

[Danver4]

Am one of the lucky person seeing him perform and sing this excellent piece....

[angerredfire]

A beautiful and evocative song.

[jfreesprt]

So glad to see that I am not the last living romantic in the world. Thank you. - also 54.

[GuarraMorra]

Esta es voz, este es un mounstruo que en su momento inspirò a miles de parejas de novios, yo recuerdo a mi hermana con su novio y me recuerdo acompañada con estas melodias cuando crecì, aprendì de mis hermanas la mejor mùsica.

[Marilenemary]

Fantastic song

Very good

i love

thank

you

[raychan1205]

It's my fortune to meet you again!

[OldGuyOhio]

My sentiments exactly, only my love is a lady named Gerry, wherever she is right now I still love her after all this time.

[margi09]

Thanks,such a beautiful song,Johnny is such a wonderful singer.

[CirclingSkies]

Duddie -- they're playing our song!! I can feel you holding me so close as we danced! I wish we could meet again, but then, it's not for me to say.

[AbCdXyZlMnOp]

this song was on the zodiac album

[OoberLiam]

yep

[mlmlisa]

Chances are, its not for me to say, Misty, all great songs by a great singer Johnny mathis. His singing voice is just...dreamy.

[JoesitoH]

I wonder how many had their first kiss listening to J Mathis music

[DerHalbeEuro]

Nice, thanks for uploadin :)

[bentarthur]

I was blown away by this when I first heard it many years ago and I still think it's one of the most beautiful and romantic songs I ever heard. Thanks so much!

[cantsaycuntincanada]

Beautiful song, thanks for posting
